What science tells us — and doesn’t tell us — about concussions

The concern over concussions in football is a favorite, hot-button topic in many media outlets. So University of Delaware researchers and area sports medicine partners collaborated on a Delaware Online opinion editorial on the science behind concussions. The piece was written by Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists’ Bradley C. Bley, University of Delaware College of Health Sciences’ Thomas Buckley, Airelle Giordano, John Jeka, and Thomas Kaminski; and Christiana Care Health System’s Bradley J. Sandella and Chaney G. Stewman. The authors encourage people to “speak to your medical providers and researchers about the most recent news.” Read the op-ed.
